Anders Eisner, Son of Billionaire Michael Eisner, Sets Little Holmby Record With $12.8M Sale

Published: June 19, 2018 | By: American Luxury Staff

Activate Drinks co-founder Anders Eisner had this estate in Holmby Hills re-listed on the open market for only two months before it sold. Eisner picked up the property in 2012, paying $7.4 million for the Spanish-style mansion; he sold it this week for $12.9 million. That’s a far cry from the property’s initial listing price of early spring 2017—$24.5 million—but not terribly distant from the $13.85 which Eisner had been seeking when the property re-listed about a year later.

The eclectically house dates to the late 1920’s, and retains many charming period features despite renovations. A tile roof, carved front gate, stucco, second-floor balconies and terraces, arches, and plentiful raw timber and brick carry the history of the home; most appealing is the foyer fireplace, a welcoming accent if ever there was one. Concessions to modern tastes include the open staircase, rising toward a glass roof panel or skylight, which liberates nicely, as well as newer floors, modern lighting, and a thoroughly modern kitchen. New glass surrounds the quasi-solarium living room.

The cozy nook-and-cranny sensibility of the original interiors sneaks in, though. The alcove window divan is singular. But, overall, the house appeals to contemporary tastes, and now contains amenities including a gym/studio, sauna, media room, office, and master bath centered by a soaking tub.

The property exterior extends to about an acre, and incorporates a classic brick sunlounge and tile-bordered pool, summer kitchen, patio, sports court, and tree house.

Anders Eisner is the son of billionaire Disney ex-CEO Michael Eisner, and is the co-founder of Activate Drinks. Activate was purchased by Unique Beverages in the summer of 2014.
